PRE-OWNED | BEAUTIFULLY PRESERVED | 2000 MEXICAN FENDER
A Beautifully Preserved Fender Standard Stratocaster
We’re delighted to offer this lovely 2000 Fender Standard Stratocaster, finished in the timeless 3-Colour Sunburst with a rosewood fingerboard.
Made in Fender’s Ensenada factory in Mexico, this is a wonderful example of the Mexican Standard Stratocasters that have earned such a loyal following over the years.
Now approximately 26 years old, this particular guitar has clearly been cherished. The beautifully preserved sunburst finish retains a wonderful depth and gloss, and the overall presentation is particularly impressive for an instrument of this age.
It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find older Mexican Standards that haven’t accumulated considerable wear, making this a particularly appealing example.
Classic Fender Styling and Tone
The traditional 3-Colour Sunburst finish looks beautiful against the white scratchplate, rosewood fingerboard and natural maple headstock.
The body displays the familiar golden amber centre, transitioning through warm reddish tones to the deep black outer edges. The glossy finish catches the light beautifully and gives the guitar a wonderfully traditional appearance.
A comfortable maple neck and rosewood fingerboard provide the familiar Stratocaster playing feel, while three single-coil pickups and a five-way selector offer the versatility that has made the Strat one of the world’s most popular electric guitars.
From bright, articulate bridge-pickup sounds to warm neck-pickup tones and the characteristic combinations in between, there’s plenty of scope for blues, rock, pop, country and much more.
The traditional six-saddle tremolo bridge, Fender-branded tuners and classic control layout complete this familiar design.
Condition – A Cherished 26-Year-Old Example
The condition is one of the strongest selling points of this guitar.
For a Mexican Standard Stratocaster dating from around 2000, it has been exceptionally well cared for.
The body remains beautifully glossy, with only minor cosmetic marks and light signs of use. Both the front and back present very well, with none of the heavy wear often associated with instruments of this age.
There are a few small chips along the edges of the rosewood fingerboard, which we’ve photographed in detail. These are cosmetic and do not affect the guitar’s playability.
The frets and fingerboard otherwise present nicely, while the chrome hardware and Fender-branded machineheads retain an attractive appearance.
We’ve taken care to show the condition accurately in our photographs, including the small imperfections.
Overall, this is a particularly well-preserved, attractive example of an older Mexican-made Fender Stratocaster.

A Lovely Older Mexican Fender
There’s something particularly appealing about a Stratocaster that has been carefully looked after for more than two decades.
This one has the classic appearance, familiar playing feel and versatile sound that have made Mexican Standard Strats such popular guitars.
With its beautifully glossy 3-Colour Sunburst finish and very modest wear, it’s an instrument that should appeal equally to somebody looking for their first Fender or a more experienced player who appreciates an older example.
